Open since 1986, The Garment District Inc. is one of the most unusual department stores in existence. A staff of 40 busily maintains a huge retail space with over 40,000 pieces of vintage and contemporary clothing on sale on any given day.

The Garment District has been nominated because it is one of the best, most well-known vintage stores in Boston.
